I haven't RTFM so apologies if it is known to everyone but my little tip on the "Extras" section on the pause menu - You can buy red brick unlocks with studs in the Police Station ( basement I think)
With these you can then turn on Studs x 2 in the Extras in the pause menu and earn studs at twice the rate.

Yeah I think I will just save that for getting the extra gold block in the special assignments. I like how different costumes have different animations, the zombie eats its foot, the spartan spins a shield on his spear etc.

Well the prison section has redeemed the game for me some what. Wasn't really feeling the game early on but I come to the prison section and thought it was excellent and very amusing. Most of all FUN!!

Hope the rest of the game continues like this now
Quick question. I've found several disguises and purchased them on the police station but they arent available when I go into one of the booths. Is it just a case of them being available when the mission requires it or unlocked later in the game?

I’ve just had a 4 hour session and I’m gagging for more; I might keep the Gamepad tethered during my next stint. I only recently noticed when driving press (Y) for boost (NOS) it’s a refreshing change playing a game with a smile on my face opposed to looking like a “Bulldog chewing a wasp” playing so called more mature open world games.

If the Wii U momentum picks up this game could be huge. With the Lego City toy franchise and possible downloadable content Lego City Undercover could go on for years.

I've been playing for hours and have only managed to clock up 9% of the game; obviously this will change when I unlock all the disguises and get 100% on the missions/areas I've already completed, this is going to take me more than 40 hours to complete.

He's right though, the game could be huge (relatively speaking), and it could go on for years. Lego games tend to have a very long tail, as do Nintendo games, which it almost is given it's published by them. So I reckon it could get decent sales in the long run. Not decent as in anything like the numbers it could do on other consoles, but compared to other Wii U games. It'd be enough for it to make money, at least.

Edge just strike me as a bunch of bitter individuals who look for nothing but flaws. Sure their job is to review and be honest but sometimes they lose the plot and it is almost like they have to give a shocker harsh score every now & then to keep their bastard reputation in tact.

5/10 is still a pretty good score for a kids game to be fair.

I wouldn't call Aliens a kids game really, it just had lousy AI that made it feel dumb and childish, chortle chortle!

Well, that and the crap graphics, lousy structure, boring gameplay.

LCU never feels like a kids game, and the humour is totally not aimed at young, young children. Anyone who has played it and had a huge grin on their face during the prison freeman scene knows exactly what I'm talking about.

I'm watching my son play most of the time but I'm doing most of the laughing. I intend to start my own game at some point but I'm juggling gears judgement, bioshock infinite and Luigi's mansion 2!

I just bought it today and have only had a quick go, but the one thing that immediately hit me was how humour packed it is. Reminds me of the film Airplane - what's going on in the foreground is funny, but they also pack in little features in the background that are funny too It's great to see what that amount of freedom has allowed them to do with the jokes and references.

Assuming it's consistent of course, for all I know the rest of the game was written by a chimp. I hope not.
